Description

The access from INFRA-23273 has bared fruit, and we understand the cause of our disk space woes. The size of the system disk is not homogeneous across the donated machines, but all of them have /tmp as part of that in a single mount, and this is where a lot of our build scripts do their work.

To alleviate this, we would like to change that location by setting TMPDIR in the root and jenkins users' environments to a new directory, /home/jenkins/tmp, which resides on the other disk.
